The Canadiens enter action on Thursday as sizeable +239 road underdogs against the Boston Bruins.
Primeau will take the crease for the second half of Montreal's back-to-back with Detroit on Tuesday in Montreal.

Primeau will return to the crease on Saturday, his first start in four games for the Canadiens.
